Chapter Thirty-Eight: Fighting the Guard
The road to Hexi Village is not easy to walk, out of the town, it is a sandy dirt road, some places are not smooth, the key is that after driving for half an hour, I didn't even see the shadow of the van.
After careful calculation, we were only two minutes behind the van, and Zhao Liang was about to drive the car away, but he still couldn't catch up.
Half an hour later, a small mountain village appeared in our sight, and Zhao Liang subconsciously slowed down the car and parked the car at the entrance of the village.
Through the car window, I looked at the village and asked, "Ryoko, is this the place?" ”
"Yes!"
Zhao Liang pointed to a locust tree at the entrance of the village and said, "There is a big locust tree at the entrance of their village, and there is only one village to the north when they go out of the town!" ”
"Get out of the car and take a look!"
I pushed the door open, and the moment I stepped down, I felt like I was overpowered.
"Brother, what's wrong?"
Zhao Liang came down with his waist down, his neck shrunk, his hands kept rubbing, and the more he dragged back, the heavier and colder the yin qi on his body became.
"Something is wrong!" I thought about it and said.
It is easy to judge the lack of vitality in a village, listening to two sounds, the sound of dogs barking and insects, but this village is surprisingly quiet.
Another thing I think is strange is that there are very few locust trees planted at the entrance of the village in the rural areas of Northeast China, and in general, poplars or willows are planted.
"Ryoko, where did you hand over the corpse last time you came?" I asked.
"Right here!"
Zhao Liang pointed to the location of the van, "It was afternoon, and we returned immediately after the handover, without delay!" ”
I stood still and looked at the village again, the village was built at the foot of the mountain, and the road in the village was winding and narrow, and this width could pass a car.
Although the moon in the sky was very round, it was difficult to tell with the naked eye whether the car had entered the village or not, and it had to go into the village to investigate, so he said, "Let's go in and have a look!" ”
"Okay!"
Zhao Liang was a little eager to try, and he was still muttering that he might be able to see his female corpse daughter-in-law.
"Come on, you haven't even scratched the line!"
I hit Ryoko and walked in with him.
Ryoko is also a bold person, otherwise he would not have transported the corpse for seven years, looking at his appearance, although he was shivering from the cold, he was not affected by the strange atmosphere in the village at all.
When passing by the locust tree at the entrance of the village, I took a special look, the canopy is thick, the locust flowers are blooming, I sniffed, I didn't smell anything, so I touched the locust tree, pointed to the locust tree and said: "Liangzi, you smell, is there a fragrance?" ”
Zhao Liang sniffed it, shook his head and said, "No!" ”
"Strange!"
I rubbed my nose, didn't care, and continued to walk inside, and after a few steps, my vest was cold, as if someone was staring at me.
I jerked my head back and saw a man hanging from the locust tree, swaying from side to side.
Zhao Liang also turned around, and a sentence popped out of his mouth: ", why is there a person hanging?" "He saw it too.
"Ghost!"
I immediately calmed down, it wasn't human.
The locust tree nourishes the soul, but also binds the soul, such a locust tree is planted at the entrance of the village, which not only makes the yin soul in the village unable to get out, but also makes the yin spirit outside unable to enter.
If I'm not mistaken, it's likely that this village is not allowed to enter but not to leave, and it is easy to get in and difficult to get out.
"Let's go!"
As soon as I entered the village, I came out like this, I was a little worried, Chu Mo didn't know what was going on?
There is no need to consider the path in the village, the car can't pass, and the road that can be opened to traffic is just that, just go straight.
After turning a corner and walking for more than ten minutes, the two of us came to the end and saw the van.
The car was parked in front of an old house, and there was no one inside.
"Brother, something is wrong!"
When he came to the car, Zhao Liang leaned on the window of the car and watched it for a while, saying that they had rules for transporting corpses, and they had to leave immediately after the corpses were unloaded, and people could not stay in the local area.
"Brother, I've been doing it for seven years, and I haven't made a mistake except this time!" Zhao Liang squinted his eyes and stared at the house in front of him, and said, "These days when I have been sick, I have figured out a truth!" ”
"What's the truth?" I asked.
"If you break the rules, you will die!" Zhao Liang gritted his teeth and spit out this sentence, and at the same time pointed to the car and said: "There are generally two people transporting corpses, one is the driver, the other is the escort car, and the head of the escort is responsible for contacting the buyer and the seller!" As a car escort, the clearest thing is the rules, just like that Brother Chen, unless you want to die, no one will break the rules! ”
I understand what Zhao Liang means, the two people who transported the corpses this time had an accident, if it weren't for the situation that threatened their lives, they wouldn't have abandoned the car and stayed here.
We were talking when the door to the house across from us creaked open.
"Who?"
Before we could speak, a question came from inside.
"Passing!" I replied casually.
The door creaked again, and a white light came out, and a middle-aged man walked out, holding a mallet in his left hand and a lantern and a hammer in his right.
By the light of the lantern, I looked at him for a while, he was very ordinary, the kind of person who would not attract attention in the pile of embarrassment.
The most important thing is that he is normal, the three fires on his body are burning very strongly, the color is also very positive, he is a human, not a ghost.
"Where did you come from?"
He approached with a lantern in his tone, with a hint of reproach in his tone.
I opened my mouth and was about to answer, when he suddenly sighed and said, "Forget it, come in with me!" ”
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the house with the lantern.
He seemed pretty sure we'd follow, but when he thought about it, he knew that there was no better choice than to keep up.
In the middle of the night, Zhao Liang and I wandered around the village, belonging to a blind man touching an elephant, it is difficult to find clues, it is better to follow him in and see if you can ask anything!
"My surname is Yu, you can just call me Lao Yu, you two live here today, and I'll talk about it at dawn!" Lao Yu said as he walked.
The house is quite large, it is a two-entry courtyard, in front of it is a very large living room, and strangely there is no furniture.
Behind the back are the bungalows, there are seven rooms, two on the left and right, three in the middle, and the three in the middle are locked, not normal door locks, but the kind of old-fashioned thick locks.
Lao Yu came to a room on the outside, opened it and said, "You live here, the village is not peaceful at night, don't run around!" ”
"Old Yu, what's going on with that loaf of bread at the door?"
I still couldn't help but ask, I could see that this old man was wrong, two strangers appeared at the door, he didn't ask us where we came from, but led us into the house, I couldn't say anything.
"Someone has gone into the mountains!"
I always answered the wrong questions, but I said what I was most concerned about.
"Into the mountains?"
I exclaimed, that is, Chu Mo was taken into the mountains.
"Don't think about going into the mountains, it's foggy at night, and you can't get in or out!"
Lao Yu saw through my plan at a glance, pointed to the bed in the room, and said, "You two have a good night's sleep tonight, and if you have something to ask!" ”
He has this attitude, he can't ask if he wants to, in fact, entering the mountains is not necessarily a bad thing for Chu Mo, she is a fox, and the most familiar place should be the mountains and forests.
Chu Mo said to me through Zhao Liang's mouth that she was waiting for me, it didn't look like she was in danger, I was a little concerned and messed up.
"Brother?"
Zhao Liang interrupted my thoughts and handed me an inquiring look.
I glanced at Lao Yu, who had already walked out, and said softly: "Stay first!" ”
This village is full of weirdness, no matter what old Yu's idea is, we always have a breakthrough.
And looking at Lao Yu's dress, he is obviously a husband, what age is this, and there is a husband?
In ancient times, the change of husband was to tell the time, remind fire prevention and theft, why should a small village of 100 households in Hexi Village be changed?
"Knock knock!"
Soon, there were two rapid banging sounds outside, and the voice of Lao Yu prolonged his tone also sounded: "At the end of the time, the soul returns!" ”
"Brother, what is he shouting about?" Zhao Liang glared, his face confused.
I think it's normal, but if I really shout something dry and watch out for candles or something, I think it's strange!
"Don't think about it, get a good night's sleep, and talk about it tomorrow!" I thought about it and said.
This Hexi village is more complicated than I imagined, the big locust tree at the entrance of the village, the people hanging from the canopy, and the people who are older than this watchman.
Tomorrow, perhaps, there will be a definite answer. ()
